> * that wasn't putting down someone's submission or complaining about there being a similar article* You're getting downvotes galore by the folks here, but on the off chance you're not a native English speaker or something, I don't read his comments that way at all. I actually checked through every one of your links posted above and I don't take his comments to be mean spirited at all. More like he's designated himself the friendly community cross referencer. This one[1] in particular, is about as good of a comment as you can get. Cross referenced to other submissions, interesting links raised in the HN discussion, and a comment of his own. |

That links through to demonstration videos by Ward himself:

Comments over here - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2895342 - suggest that some HN participants don't actually understand what a wiki really is, or its history.
Don't know why, but I find that a bit sad. A bit like not knowing about _why.
